Murwillumbah is a picturesque town located in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia, nestled in the Tweed Valley. The town sits on the banks of the Tweed River, surrounded by subtropical landscape and the remnants of an ancient volcanic caldera, with Mount Warning (Wollumbin) as its distinctive backdrop. Originally inhabited by the Bundjalung Aboriginal people, the area was later developed by European settlers in the 19th century, primarily for sugar cane farming. The town's name is believed to derive from an Aboriginal word meaning "camping place."

The town's architectural heritage is notably represented by its Art Deco buildings, particularly in the main street, which survived a series of floods in the 20th century. Murwillumbah has developed into a significant cultural center in the region, with its arts scene flourishing around the Tweed Regional Gallery and Margaret Olley Art Centre. The gallery, positioned on a hilltop with panoramic views of the Tweed Valley, has become a major cultural destination. The town also maintains strong connections to its agricultural heritage while embracing its role as a hub for artists and craftspeople.
